I like his 'blitz', do you suppose that might be a custom made one? It looks raised and very high-quality.
And yes, I've got insomnia issues like a 90 year old woman.
haha me too.....thats great! I frequently get yelled at by my fiance to: "turn the TV down, it's 3:30 am!!"
And I would agree. His blitz patch and even the chevron look raised....or something. But the blitz definitely stands out

What does the back read?
The first says "Major" followed by the name. (Stiggelli?) The second one says "Vereidigung" = "swearing in"

Thank you HPL2008; Your a great resource on this forum! I have a few other photos that could use translating but I'll have to find the time to scan them!

This member of the SS was happy for a day... maybe.
I'm guessing this is for a anniversary? Translation?
"As a memory of Hans and Lieselotte. 16 Oct. 1943"
Clearly their wedding photo as presented to some friends or relatives. The groom is an Unterscharführer of the Totenkopfdivision who had participated in the Russian Campaign; possibly a survivor of the Demjansk pocket.
Note his "Death's Head" collar patch and Oberbayern cuff title as well as his decorations. (EK2 and Ostmedaille ribbons, Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen and Verwundetenabzeichen)

Thank you! I found this to be a very "interesting" photo when I picked it up. Well, Its a bummer that it would be impossible to find out more about him.

I really like the pictures in 2392 Bill. I love battle pictures but I enjoy pictures of the soldiers hanging out just as much!
